...Whether you suffer injury in a car, truck or motorcycle accident or in a slip and fall accident, chances are your legal case rests on one thing: proving the existence of negligence. However, unless you are a lawyer yourself, you may not know what negligence is, in legal terms. Negligence is the failure to provide reasonable care and as a result, cause injury to another person. Negligence can appear on the road, in hospitals, at home, in restaurants, at grocery stores and many other locations. Any time you are involved in an accident that causes you injury, it is important to determine if negligence was the cause. By contacting a skilled personal injury lawyer, you can obtain valuable information about your case and your chances of receiving compensation. Listed below are the four elements of negligence: Duty of care: As a personal injury plaintiff, your first job, or rather the job of your attorney, is to show that the defendant owed you a duty of care. Breach of duty: Next, you must show that the defendant breached the duty of care that he or she owed to you. Factual causation: After establishing there has been a breach of duty, you must prove that the defendant’s actions caused your injury. Damages: The last element you must establish in that you suffered actual harm as a result of the defendant’s action or inaction. Proving negligence is usually the cornerstone of a plaintiff’s personal injury case. If you are unsure as to whether your accident was caused by negligence...

...When the actions of another person or entity, such as a government agency or product manufacturer, result in the death of a loved one, you may be eligible to seek compensation for your loss through a wrongful death suit. These funds can significantly alleviate the financial pressure of losing a family member, and provide a sense of closure for those left behind. However, as the experienced legal team at Waycaster & Allred in Daltona, GA, explains, the law sets clear limits on the situations that can lead to a suit, as well as who can file a claim. Because wrongful death claims are actually a type of personal injury suit, fatalities suffered in a broad array of circumstances may qualify you to pursue damages. Some of the more common include:...

...RESOLVING ASBESTOS CLAIMS: THE MANVILLE PERSONAL INJURY SETTLEMENT TRUST MARIANNA S. SMITH* I INTRODUCTION There was no precedent for the Manville Personal Injury Settlement Trust ("Trust"). A grantor trust, its genesis, birth, and evolution were influenced by-and its operation is still influenced by-many groups with differing agendas: the Manville Corporation, multiple federal and state courts, legal experts, investment bankers, victims' groups, plaintiffs' attorneys, Trust staff, and other trusts. The development and evolution of the Trust were further affected by a myriad of state and federal laws on, inter alia, trusts, securities regulation, contracts, fiduciary responsibility, bankruptcy, and civil procedure. These often conflicting constituencies and laws were forced into a compromise "peace" during the upheaval of the Johns-Manville Corporation' 2 chapter 11 bankruptcy filing. The Trust, an independent organization, was created by the bankruptcy court to distribute funds as equitably as possible while balancing the rights of Copyright © 1990 by Law and Contemporary Problems * Executive Director, Manville Personal Injury Settlement Trust.

...Submit a 3 page paper that 1) explains the difference between litigating an embezzlement case in civil court and criminal court, and 2) discuss the role of an expert witness/fraud examiner in each proceeding. There are two major factions of the United States court system: civil cases and criminal cases. Both take place in courtrooms all across the country, but there are several differences that separate the two as well as the role of fraud examiner in each proceeding. The major difference of the two in an embezzlement case is: 1) In a criminal court case, the opposing parties are the prosecutor, often the Assistant District Attorney, and the defendant, represented by a trial lawyer. In a civil court case, however, the opposing parties are the plaintiff and the defendant, both of whom are typically represented by attorneys. 2) In a criminal court case, the prosecutor must establish the guilt of the defendant, but in a civil court case, the plaintiff must only establish the liability of the defendant. In the former, the defendant is either guilty or not guilty of a crime, while in the latter, the defendant is either liable or not liable for monetary damages suffered by the plaintiff. For example, in a criminal court case, the defendant can be found guilty of money laundry his money, while in a civil court case, the defendant can be found liable for stealing someone’s car. In civil court cases, the plaintiff must only win by a preponderance of evidence, which means that the defendant...

...employees to another employee and eventually lead to sabotage.

...Kudler Fine Foods Legal Analysis Obtaining timely and accurate legal advice is a critical necessity in the modern corporate world and like all industries legal professionals are area specialists. Today’s lawyers may work exclusively with labor issues, negotiations, taxes, contracts, litigation or general corporate law, to mention a few. Retaining one skilled attorney able to navigate the entire scope of Kudler’s needs is unlikely and therefore Kudler will need to retain a corporate law firm to represent all of its interests. According to Kudler Fine Foods (2011) website, Kudler currently uses Anne Shousha, Kathy Kudler’s sister-in-law, as its legal counsel. Anne is reportedly a successful tax attorney employed by an accounting firm in San Diego, California (Legal Overview). Additionally, Kudler’s contact with Anne is screened by Kathy and conducted either by phone, at family events or on the rare occasion in a face-to-face meeting. Historically, Anne has not billed Kudler for the telephonic or casual consultations but does bill at $100.00 per hour for formal meetings. At this time, Kudler’s policy regarding internal legal issues is one in which customer or employee injury’s are reported by the Store Manager to Kathy and she then notifies Anne. Store Managers are free to identify potential legal concerns and suggest them to Kathy but the ultimate decision to elevate to Anne rests with Kathy. According to Kudler Fine Foods (2011) website, Kudler “has had only a few customer...

...Traumatic Brain Injury WUT2 Task Western Governors University A. Investigated Disease Process The disease process I will be reviewing is traumatic brain injuries. A traumatic brain injury occurs when sudden trauma occurs to an individual’s brain. Traumatic brain injuries are considered closed or penetrating. Traumatic brain injuries are categorized as mild, moderate or severe based on the amount of damage that occurs to the brain. (ninds.nih.gov, 2015) A1. Pathophysiology To understand traumatic brain injuries, we must first discuss the numerous causes of brain injury. When injury occurs to the brain, the patient encounters the primary injury that is directly related and occurs at the time of the injury. Secondary injury occurs as a result of the primary injury but often leads to a more significant sequela based on the type of initial trauma. Non penetrating injuries to the cranium that lead to traumatic brain injuries are not always related to direct blows of the cranium. Rapid acceleration and deceleration injuries along with compression injuries may lead to traumatic brain injuries. This type of injuries can lead to injuries to the brain tissue that could include compression, stretching and shearing injuries to the brain tissue. These type of injuries are classified as “diffuse axonal injuries”. Diffuse axonal injuries are one of the most common and extensive types of traumatic brain injuries. These injuries often lead to death or severe irreversible...

...Controversial Issues in Entertainment Paper Controversial issues in the media Controversies are a part of the American if not global landscapes. The thought makes one wonder if our value and belief systems are shaped by mass media. That may be close to the truth. With computers, laptops, cell phones, I-pads we are connected to the media in some form and want our news as fast as possible. The more horrific the story, the more interest is generated in knowing the outcome. Nature of the controversy In 2009, a young dating couple had a physical fight that made national news. The couple in question- music superstars Chris Brown and Rihanna. Every paper covered the assault and had pictures of the bloodied Rihanna with blackened eye, split lip, and bite marks. The scandal percolated to an all-time high and Chris Brown was charged with assault. Later the public would discover the charges were for sexual assault. Many celebrities have misunderstandings and some have been victims. Controversy sells and we want to know what happened- the media is willing to oblige. Traditional journalism The traditional factors of newsworthiness include proximity, future impact, prominence, conflict, human interest, and timeliness. According to John Vivian “ not only do people in their contemporary lifestyles need mass media, but the industries that have built up around media need an audience” (Vivian, 2011, p. 6).
